User’s Manual
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchasing the BAR338P RF Projection
Barometer.
The BAR338P is a multifunction, RF-controlled projection calendar
clock which automatically synchronizes its current time and date
when brought within an approximate 1500 km radius of the radio
signal generated from Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77). (The UK
version from MSF Ruby, England)
The BAR338P is very easy to use. No wire installation is required
between the main unit and the remote unit.

HINTS FOR BEST OPERATION
HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR
• Insert batteries for the remote unit before doing so for the main
unit.
The projector projects the current time and remote temperature
onto a wall or ceiling.
• Set the main and remote unit within range (20 to 30 meters).
• Try different set-ups for best transmission and reception.
• Position the remote unit away from direct sunlight, rain or
snow.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove the battery compartment door.
To project the time-temperature onto a flat surface:
2. Insert two AAA-sized batteries for the remote unit or four AAsized batteries for the main unit.
In a darkened room, press [ SNOOZE / LIGHT ], the wall projection
will activate for approximately 5 seconds.
3. Press [RESET].

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
Reception
complete
The BAR338P is designed to automatically synchronize its
current time and date when brought within range of the DCF77
RF signal.

Ruby, England)
No reception, or
manually adjusted
Successful reception
For better reception of radio signals, place the clock away from
metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference.
When the unit is within range, its radio-control mechanism will
override all manual settings.
HOW TO ENABLE OR DISABLE
AUTO-RECEPTION
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the reception icon will start
to blink. The reception icon will show either strong, weak or no
signal depending on the strength of the radio signal. A complete
reception generally takes about two to 10 minutes.
If you wish to disable the auto-reception feature while the unit is
within range, hold down the [ ] and [ ] buttons simultaneously
for two seconds. The [
] signal will disappear. The unit will NOT
respond to radio signals.

NOTE:
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is
about 70 to 75%, and therefore, cannot be held responsible for
any inconveniences so caused by an inaccurate forecast.
2. The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 to 24 hours. It may
not necessarily reflect the current situation.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
3. The “Sunny” icon, when appears at nighttime, implies clear
weather.
Signals from household devices, such as doorbells, home security
systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this product
and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and does
not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission
and reception of temperature readings will resume once the
interference recedes.
4. When temperature goes equal or below 3OC (+37.4 OF), the
snowy icon will display instead of the rainy icon.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
WEATHER FORECAST
When it is time to replace batteries, the low-battery indicator will
appear. Replace the batteries for the main unit when the indicator
appears at the clock window. Do the same for the remote unit when
the indicator appears below the OUT icon.
The unit is capable of detecting barometric pressure changes, and
basing on the data collected, can predict the weather for the next 12
to 24 hours. The effective range is 30 to 50 km.

The [RESET] button is used to enhance synchronization of signals
after battery replacement or when the unit is operating in an
unfavorable way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold
down the button. All settings will return to their default values.
